Nirmal Anchal Pure Khadi Cotton Saree Gray

What is the anchal design on the Nirmal Anchal grey?

Anchal is another word for the pallu. Here the body is a fine grey-and-white striped khadi, edged with a red border on both sides, and the pallu carries a band of small woven motifs in red and black. The work is jamdani weaving, where motifs are woven in on the loom.

What blouse suits the grey and red?

A black blouse picks up the black in the pallu motifs and looks sharp. A red blouse matches the border for a festive day, and a white or grey blouse keeps it minimal for the office.

Can I wear it to work?

Yes, it is made first for office wear. The grey stripe reads neat and professional, and the red border adds just enough colour. The light khadi also suits summer outings and travel, and it is easy as an everyday saree.

Is a blouse piece included, and how long is it?

It comes with a running blouse and measures 6.4 to 6.5 metres. The blouse length is cut from the end of the saree. Your tailor will need the full length to plan the cut.

How should I wash it?

Gently by hand with a mild detergent, washed separately, and dried in the shade. The red border is the part to protect, so keep it out of a mixed wash with light clothes.
